For every drop of rain that falls tomorrows dreams wash further away. I've had my season of love, maybe one too many, enhancing my life, flavoring it with zest, changing my taste, but always craving more. I wear you in my touch, remembering the first time, allowing that feel of you to carry me off each night to my world of dreams, where reality is held timeless and you can never say goodbye. I fill my empty with the tiniest notions, of what could be, if only. I am weary of love's song, wondering if it was ever written for me or has my time passed? But you see, I love the all of you, the dark and the light, the sad side of you and the unexpected. I hold out only because I can't let go, there is something there, stealing my want, shying me to others, making my heart beat out your name. If only you could see this, feel this, want this to be yours, alone, then I know, I know my mind would accept, would allow me to live again, would stop this sickness from eating away all that is me. Another day goes by and still, nothing changes, no matter the course I take, my body won't give in to what should be, instead it drags me further and beyond, shutting out the positive, no matter how hard I try to think otherwise. If only something is found, then I can remove the fear. But how can ones mind do all this damage? Why won't it let me rebuild my strength? It is like a thief, a petty one, taking from me daily without me knowing until now it is too hard to regain what has been stolen. The life is being choked out of me and I can't seem to stop it... and all I want is not to be alone. "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

The life is being choked out of me and I can't seem to stop it... and all I want is not to be alone. Our minds are so very strong, Maureen...that fear and emotional pain can actually cause that choking... A very beautiful poem, but I really hope that the choking goes away.  ~ worried hugsLyra |
